I enjoyed “The Testaments” and “Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration” immensely in the Legacy Theater, and would love to add them to my library in the highest quality consumer format available. If a 4GB movie file were available for download (allowing for an OK-to-decent 1080p video bitrate and 5.1 surround), I think there would be a lot of interest. Blu-ray has finally gone mainstream in the U.S., but it hasn’t yet hit that tipping point internationally, so I recognize the Church may not want to invest in Blu-ray replication services or facilities - at least, not until testing the waters first. A high-quality viewing experience increases the emotional connection between the audience and the material, plus it helps us appreciate the significant financial resources that went into building detailed sets, and creating authentic costumes and convincing special effects.

I recognize the Church is moving into streaming as a primary distribution channel for its content (which I applaud), but I and many others would also appreciate seeing its films in true high definition. The 1000k file is 640×480 and obviously very compressed.
